Fred immediately announces plans to dress up as Rocs for Halloween. Then looks up 'Halloween' on Wikipedia.

So we're agreed then? Our next boarding plan, we all go in with boxes.

If I'd just gotten one more vote we'd all be going with my Hobo Barrel idea, but nooooooo.

Fred can't control who's standing in the doorway, so I thought that should be random. Someone is presumably getting a kinetic hit from an unexpected direction, though.

You'll like him more when he starts attacking enemies in BOTH battles at once. All the door attacks!
In any case, as for the system, it seems like some of the trouble is coming from having to look in so many places for the adjustments to a roll. It might speed things up a tiny bit to have a section with everything summarized, so you compare the "vs Melee" on one character's stat block to the "vs Energy" from another. It wont save HUGE amounts of time, but it'll save the mental math of jumbling it all together. Some traits even fit rather nicely into those specifications and can just be constantly added in to those totals when they apply.

...CCC, you have the best character I've ever SEEN. I bow to your superior RP and hope that one day you will teach me your ways.
Fred. Is. BRILLIANT.
I think this may be the 4th post of Fred's in a row where the entire skype chat lit up with "I love Fred!!"

From "False Mustache" to "Happy Birthday", that entire post was pure gold. Well done, CCC.

I don't know, it might also be something about roleplaying AI. Being able to roleplay something that a) isn't human or b) doesn't have to deal with anything near biological processes means you get to have some real fun with the character, because they think very differently. Especially when you don't have to stay in the 'I am AI, I have no emotions and no one wants to deal with me' range of roleplay.
It is tricky getting the silliness ratio right though, at least with MUSE. It's been interesting balancing MUSE of KK - which was for the most part a very silly, zany character - with MUSE of Leylines, who has to be more... adult, for lack of any better way to put it, since it is watching over Harmony.

Fred's definition of "injured" is fulfilling one of these three options:
- Lying down and moaning - Leaking blood - Having had one or more limbs removed
Standing up and limping does not count.
Incidentally, Fred has previously picked routes for Rocs through vacuum, furnaces or heavy weapons fire. In his defense, they were short routes.

Wonder how long it took Fred to learn the difference between hydraulic fluid and blood...
I think I'm going to hold off on following the cleaning bot till John posts a full surrender announcement from the captain, no sense in taking any sort of weapons fire.
Hehehe...
"Fred... it's space on the other side of this door."
"It is the shortest route to the bridge."
"I need air to breathe and pressure to keep my vital fluids inside my body."
"...really? Organic life is complex."
"Also the near-zero temperature outside would freeze me solid."
"I should note that somewhere."
"Yes you should."
